It's defined as "alternative to tradition", with an explanation. The essential point here is that both ''design'' and ''tradition'' are ''designed'' concepts...

Postulation (or "scope design" in polyscopy terminology) is the key, which establishes a 'fulcrum' or Archimedean point for liberating speech.

This definition of design is really the key point in the polyscopy proposal; it has therefore been important to test and embed this idea in suitable communities. Here's a brief history.

* started as [http://folk.uio.no/dino/ID/Misc/PHD-letter.pdf my contribution to the online conference on the PhD Design forum], whose theme was how to establish design in an academic way.
